Hello everyone, new here.
I have not been officially diagnosed with IBS but I do believe I have it. About once every 2 weeks or so I get a severe case of diarrhea with acidic yellow bile, this is almost always after a meal in the evening and the acid is so strong that it sets my rear end on fire! I have always had "nervous trots" due to anxiety, but it's different in that it doesn't contain the bile acid and isn't triggered by eating. I'm 30 and I do still have my gall bladder.Anyways, about a week ago I ate dinner and then went outside to do some yardwork (I should have known not to get hot after eating since this is another trigger) and sure enough it happened again. The morning after I noticed a itchy feeling coming from my anal area, so I went to the bathroom and looked and noticed a lump. I pretty much figured out it was an internal hemorrhoid that had protruded a little. I pushed it back in along with using Preparation H and so far it hasn't came back out, it's not "flared up" anymore but I can still kinda feel a twitchyness in there. I didn't push when using the bathroom so I'm assuming it was the acid that really irritated the hemorrhoid. I have lost 5lbs in the past week because I'm afraid to eat big meals or anything that may trigger another episode, I don't think my rear end could handle it again.Soooo... for those of you that have this type of diarrhea and hemorrhoids, how do you deal with it? I'm trying to decide if I should go to a specialist. I'm not working right now so luckily all of this happened at home. If this would have happened at work it would really be rough. I have been in a very bad mood since it happened.
